'The dog has your back:' Medical service dogs for veterans in Westport
Norwalk Hour - There's a photo of Charlie Amico in the hospital. He's wearing the typical hospital gown, surrounded by the typical hospital machines. What doesn't fit the typical picture is the giant German shepherd sitting attentively on Amico's typical hospital bed. The shepherd is called Harry and, in the year-and-a-half he and Amico have been together, the two have been literally inseparable. "In that period of time we have only been apart for maybe an hour and a half," Amico said. "That was because of surgery. He couldn't come into the OR of course." Charlie, now 65 years old, is a veteran of the Korean War. He joined the U.S. Army in 1971, served on the D.M.Z. in 1973 and retired from the service in 1985, a sergeant, first class. He may have left the service long ago - he later had a long career with the U.S. Department of Agriculture - but there have been lasting effects. "I do have nightmares," he said. "I have for many, many, many years. They go back all the way to the early '70s."
